Just wondering if there is anyone out there who won’t announce their pregnancy on social media. I told most my family and some friends but I’m not planning on putting it on social media. Anyone else with me on this? This will be our first baby :)

My sister asked me when I’ll announce today and I said I’m not sure if I will on social media. My partner probably will because hes just like that haha but I think I’ll just be content with telling people I know that will actually be happy and excited for us. Social media is full of people that you never really speak to haha

My close family and a 2 friends know now, my extended and remainder of friends will find out at Easter, I’m posting on social media at the gender reveal. But I do want to mention that I am trying to keep everyone else from posting about my pregnancy on SM. I only want what I want shared and it to be on my own social media... does that seem harsh?

Nope! Not making an announcement on social media. I will tell my close friends and family directly. I didn’t announce my engagement either. I like to have some privacy in life, and the people who should know are told in person or directly by me :)

I’m not putting it on social media either and I thought I was the only one! People who I’m actually friends with I’ll call, text, or tell in person. I’m really over social media. I don’t need to brag about my life to hundreds of acquaintances 🙄

We’re not announcing on social media at all, also our first baby. The people we care deeply about will know personally from us. I’ll post a pic of the baby once we are blessed with his or her presence and just say something like ‘this happened. And it rocks our socks.’ ;)

We are not as well. We just celebrated our one year and are a relatively young Christian couple (25/26) and don’t want the judgement of “getting married to have sex” comments. Our baby was not planned and we don’t need the negativity right now. All of our close friends and family know already and they are the ones who really matter and love this baby no matter how early we are having our little sprinkle.

i wont be putting anything on social media until a lot later on. il tell family and friends but im not wanting my kids to know until we know the gender at 20 weeks (if i can get away with it lol) so i dont wanna risk anyone else telling them anything before us. i dont think il b doing an "announcement" once they know but i wont b being super secretive about it by then. like if i read some article about pregnancy tht i like i will give it a like at tht point n entering conpetitions to win baby stuff without hesitation lol x

This is our 3rd and we've never announced on social media that we were expecting. We tell family and our close friends. We usually announce the birth after we have settled at home. We are just very private people.

We aren’t planning on announcing on social media, but I’m wondering how I should handle my Facebook loving mother. She already asked if she could announce it after our 8 week appointment after telling her no announcements until we finish the first trimester. In my mind it’s our information to share and not hers to blast on FB. I’m just worried how I should tell her without hurting her feelings. She hasn’t had a new granbaby in a VERY long time.

I am a very private person. And only told people that I'm close with. Acquaintances can find out in their own time. Life is beautiful and I choose to live in the real world without the superficial, self absorbed, disingenuous stink cloud of social media. I think I'm going to have a hard time explaining to friends and family that I don't want any photos of the baby posted online. Hopefully they'll understand.
